Good morning, Lord

Matthew 10:37 "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 40 "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41 Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."

Good morning, Lord, please help us see the opportunities you have put before us, please help us follow your lead, to take up our cross daily, however you want us to.

Lord, we pray for the persecuted church in Iran, thank you that many in this dark land are awakening and seeing the truth of your love in this dark land, we know the cost of conversion is high, we pray for great favor and blessing for those who share the Good News in Iran, we pray you would bless every means available to spread the Gospel in Iran.

We pray for the unreached people of the day, the Rawat of India, (who “…have little concept of a personal, creator God who loves them personally.”), we pray you would open the minds of many Rawat to the beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray for effective use of stories from scripture and film to show them your love and light and eternal life.

We pray for Good News Productions, please help continually improve their use of all technologies that can be applied to bring the great news about Jesus in this land.
